Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
To use these rivets, you will need a standard rivet gun.
- Select the appropriate size drill bit for the hole that will accommodate the rivet's mandrel.
- Drill a clean hole through the materials you wish to join. Ensure the hole diameter is suitable for a snug fit of the rivet body.
- Insert the rivet into the hole.
- Place the nose of the rivet gun over the rivet mandrel.
- Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun. This action pulls the mandrel, deforming the rivet body and securing the materials.
- Continue squeezing until the mandrel snaps off, leaving the secured rivet.
Compatibility:
These rivets are compatible with most standard 3.2mm rivet guns. They are designed for use with metal materials such as aluminum, steel, and brass. Ensure the thickness of the materials being joined is appropriate for the 10mm rivet length.
Care:
Copper/steel rivets are generally low-maintenance. For external applications or where they may be exposed to moisture, a protective coating or paint can be applied after installation to further enhance corrosion resistance, although the copper and steel themselves offer good inherent durability.
